If you care, this is what I use: https://copyless.net
Or at the App Sto https://apps.apple.com/app/id993841014
All it would add is syncing between computers and changing the 200 up or down.
What I'd prefer is just the single copy key, but it keeps a history, so if I say "oh ****, I just overwrote the clipboard!" I can go back to a previous one.
The standard command+P to paste works fine and is what I generally use. Same
with C for copy.
Not if you command-C, get interrupted, command-C something else, then lose the first one. I've done that many times.
Yes. It works for times when I do that, not that I ever would being as perfect
as I am.
Except with a PC it's CTRL, which I remember my schoolfriend telling me it meant "computer tries to reload". This was in the days of the BBC 32KB computers.
I go back and forth with no real issue -- knowing to use control on Windows
and ChromeOS and Command on macOS. The few times I use a terminal on Linux or
Windows it always seems weird the "standard" copy and paste does not work. I
get why.
What doesn't work?
Terminals use things like Control+C to abort (terminate) a processes. You try
to copy and you literally kill whatever process (app) you are using! Some
processes will thankfully warn you and you do not lose everything, but the
concept is absurd. The UNIX way was first... then Apple used the Command key
(they used to call it the Open Apple key) and then Windows and later Linux
copied the Mac but did it in a way where they used the UNIX keys to do the
wrong thing. On Windows that is not quite so bad, but Linux is a UNIX clone.
Also do not like the weird hand calisthenics needed with Control,
though not a big deal.
I press the CTRL with my little finger, and the X/C/V with my first finger. I'd find CMD in the wrong place - next to spacebar isn't it? Too close.
I use my thumb for the Command key... and out of habit do so when on Windows
or Linux, so yeah, I likely am having the issue because I do it wrong. I also
am a CRAPPY typist... the "normal" way uses so many fingers!
I usually do a quick test post before I send in anger (as it were!)
I have been hitting the "send" button as my brain registers an error and
screams "NOOOOOOOO!"
On forums which allow editing, I get lazy and just send, then proofread and adjust it. Sometimes I make so many adjustments, and someone replies so quickly, that they reply to something I've no longer written, or miss out on more information I added.
I have done that.
How many have you been banned from?
A few on Facebook... groups that are supposed to be "debate" or "political"
groups -- but are run by right wingers. All it takes is posting links to fact
checking sites, or scientific sites, to get many right wingers angered.
I keep ****ing off the left wingers (and pro-vaxxers) in imgur. My score is now -220, which apparently is still "neutral".
I tend to fact check things people post. That irks some.
Speaking of being a crappy typists, I have no idea what error I made, but the
autocorrect changed "irks" to "girls". Um, what?
I've been silently censored on World Community Grid (one of those science projects). I could post and see my reply, but if I made a fake account and logged in, the posts were invisible. I found them out, sent a very rude email to the admins, and removed all my computers from their research. Censorship is wrong, end of story.
Sneaky of them to do it in a "silent" way.
Indeed. At least the cryptography project admin just said "I won't respond to such a rude question", and left the post there, despite me getting the Large Hadron Collider project admin to argue with him too. They're both getting more of my 90 CPU cores now that I banned WCG.
And, I've found 7 arithmetic progressions of primes! Don't ask me what that means. See if you can explain this like I'm five:
229634460420232057+216066175*23#*n for n=0..21
You found a really, really big number. There are not other numbers you can use
to multiple together to get that answer.
